Sterilisation device for wooden barrels, contains stack of sulphur discs for burning in order to form sterilising gases

The device supports a stack of sulphur discs which are burnt in order to generate gases for sterilising the insides of the barrel. Ash is retained by a movable metal mesh cylinder (8). A stopper (13) is used to seal the hole in the barrel. A device for sterilising wooden barrels, especially wooden barrels used for ageing wine, comprises a fuse which is burnt in order to generate gases for sterilising the inside of the barrel. The fuse comprises replaceable sulphur discs with a central hole (6) allowing them to be stacked one on top of the other on a shaft (7) joined to a flat metal base (5). An elongated fixing rod (10) has its bottom end joined to the metal base via guide rods (9) and its top end joined to a stopper for sealing the hole in the barrel. A metal mesh cylinder slidably secured around the guide rods acts as a cage for keeping in the ashes left after the discs have been burnt.

Dispositivo para la asepsia y esterilización de barricas de madera. Particularmente aplicable a barricas de envejecimiento de vino, comprende una mecha cuya combustión produce unos gases capaces de realizar la asepsia y esterilización del interior de la barrica, estando la mecha formada por discos de azufre (4) recambiables y consumibles, provistos de un agujero central (6) pasante y adaptados para su acoplamiento deslizante unos encima de otros, alrededor de un eje (7) que nace de una base plana metálica (5). El dispositivo consta de una varilla de sujeción (10) alargada, de una longitud suficiente para ser asida con los dedos alejados de los discos, unida por un extremo a dicha base (5
